ColdBox From Zero to Hero

by Luis Majano

In this workshop you will be introduced to the latest version of the most popular CFML MVC framework; ColdBox 5. We will go over the basics of installation, templating and configuration to the most advanced features like HMVC development with modules, RESTFul APIs, interception points and much more.

CommandBox Servers and Containerizing

by Brad Wood

Take a deep dive into how to standardize your server infrastructure from development to production using CommandBox, CFConfig, and Docker. These powerful tools help simplify the number of servers you have to keep track of and help you keep consistent settings and behavior across the board-- a must for a team of people all doing local development. We'll also do a brief introduction into what Docker is and how it can help you with a lot of deployment concerns.

We are excited to bring our training Bootcamp series as a post-conference workshop for this years Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2018 in Las Vegas, NV. Please note, that our training this year is AFTER the conference. This training series will be led by Box creator Luis Majano and ContentBox Evangelist Gavin Pickin at the Hyatt Placel right in front of the Hard Rock Hotel, where the conference will be. Register as soon as possible as space is very limited!

Ortus Solutions prides itself on always learning, and evolving. Whether we learn from our colleagues, clients, community members, or other languages and communities, this all helps Ortus keep pushing forward and innovating. The CFML Community has been asking for Docker information lately, we knew Docker would be very important moving forward, and that is why we made it a priority for Ortus Solutions over the last 2 years. This week Luis and Gavin will be attending Docker Con 2018 in San Francisco ( June 12 - 15, 2018 ) to help further our learning, through great content, and great networking. If you are attending, we'd love to talk to you.

There's a brand new thing out and it's called Docker. Maybe you've heard of it? We think it's pretty cool. Oh, who are we kidding? Docker has been around for a while now and it's becoming HUGE! Local development is getting more powerful. Server deployment is becoming more ubiquitous. And cloud hosts everywhere are consolidating on one container standard. Docker has been the "next big thing" for a few years now and this has led to a lot of questions from ColdFusion developers and sys admins.

What the heck is Docker?

How is it different from just running VMs?

How do I deploy it?

Is it secure?

What are the tradeoffs?

We've been fully embracing Docker and feverishly building tools and guides to help CFers understand and use it. It felt like the right time to devote an entire month of love to our new best friend, Docker and how it can help you in multiple areas of your development and deployment workflow.

Docker RoadShow

That's why we've carved out the month of September to lay down a solid foundation for you CF people who are Docker-curious to dig in and find out what this is all about as well as get hands-on examples of how to use Docker and even learn advanced techniques that would otherwise take you hours and hours of googling to understand. We will feature a series of blog posts all month long so keep an eye right here on the Ortus blog. We'll also be featuring a recorded webinar every week presented by team Ortus as well as Docker-savvy friends from around the world.

Docker Webinars

Here's a rundown of our Docker webinars that we'll be hosting. Each of these will happen at 11am Central time.

Sign Me Up!

We're using Zoom this year and can fit 100 people in each meeting, so please sign up early! We will record each session and post them afterwards.

And if you want a nice place to keep track of each of the blog posts and webinars as they happen, we've also created this page to help track all of our CFML Docker content! We'll update it as the roadshow gets underway.

We are excited to bring our training Bootcamp series as a pre-conference workshop for this years Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2017 in Las Vegas, NV. This training series will be led by Box creator Luis Majano and CommandBox Creator Brad Wood at the Mirage Hotel in a private training penthouse retreat. Register as soon as possible as space is very limited!

Do you want to transform your procedural/legacy CFML to modern times? Then this training is for you!

We are so excited to bring our Box training series back to this year's Adobe ColdFusion Summit on October 8-9th, 2016 at the Mandalay Bay hotel, which is the same conference venue. This training series will be led by Box creators Luis Majano and Brad Wood. The first day will be a hands-on training on all things CommandBox. The ColdFusion CLI, package manager and REPL tool. We will then move into ColdBox MVC training for the entire second day thanks to all the goodies we learned in Day 1. We are so excited to be part of the Adobe ColdFusion Summit and be able to add some training goodness to it as well. See you there.
